Oliver Dzierzon	Thursday 05 March 2009 5:16:24 am Thank you, but that is not what I need. My Problem is: I have a ezPublish independent produkt database which I have included into eZ Publish with an extension. I have no possibility to alter the produkt database tables. My extension returns a table where all products are listed. Now I want add a new column to the product list which contains a download link to a PDF file. I thought I could do it in the following way: For example there is an product called product1. Then I would create a link to product1.pdf. For this PDF file I would create a new ez Publish file object. Now I don't know how to create the download template. When my href to the download link should be like this: index.php/de/content/download/225/2131/file/product1.pdf how can I get the parameters 225/2131/ although having only the orginal filename

Thank you, but that is not what I need.

My Problem is:

I have a ezPublish independent produkt database which I have included into eZ Publish with an extension. I have no possibility to alter the produkt database tables.

My extension returns a table where all products are listed. Now I want add a new column to the product list which contains a download link to a PDF file.

I thought I could do it in the following way:

For example there is an product called product1. Then I would create a link to product1.pdf.
For this PDF file I would create a new ez Publish file object. Now I don't know how to create the download template.

When my href to the download link should be like this:
index.php/de/content/download/225/2131/file/product1.pdf how can I get the parameters

225/2131/ although having only the orginal filename
